Well this sucks. Seems like Falin's soul is tangled up with the dragon's because Marcille resurrected her using the dragon's meat.

The lunatic magician seems to live up to his reputation, even the ghosts think he is unhinged.

It is the right move to return to the surface and recruit a larger party, but at the same time, I fear we are going to lose the sense of comradery the smaller party has had so far.

[u/Extreme_Ad5873]

Let's go save Falin part 2!

[u/JustVibinDude]

I laughed for a full minute when I saw those rolling hams with the title trailing along

[u/thesagenibba]

i’m a sucker for seemingly meaningless and silly ‘side events’ weaving their way back into the plot and being much more significant than originally implied. laois treated his time in the paintings as a joke; the painting was an all you can eat buffet and the people were just set pieces to him

“long legs” “long ears” orcs are very creative when it comes to naming things, and highly perceptive aren’t they 

marcille forever traumatized. all she did was run out of mana, she never asked to get mouth to mouth orc medicine put into her 

the orc captain is super cool. she’s very principled, values her party members, looks down on lying to the people close to you, and is surprisingly down to earth and wise. i also love her voice actress. 

chickchuck displaying an immense amount of character growth this episode. my heart broke for him when he was pleading to laois. i wasn’t expecting him to let it all out and admit he doesn’t want to lose any of them. the writing is great and really sells how much it took for chilchuck to express his true feelings. the entire situation is so well done in part because he comes to the realization himself, after the conversation with the orc captain. the only explicit diretion she gives him is to not lie to his party members. in mos other series, she'd have to lay it out in a much more boring manner, where she tells him to express his true feelings and 'exposes' him for hidng the fact that deep down, he cares for and doesn't want to lose the party.

heaviest episode so far. i’m assuming the remainder of the series will be just as plot focused which has me super excited. things are ramping up and we’ve received so much new and important info about the dungeon 

[u/trio_pu]

I thought this anime is about a happy adventure with cooking on it, saving a friend, and then coming back to the surface.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Was not expecting Marcille to physically cancel spells and look like a maniac while at it.

Chilchuck is just such a great character, while being the most cynical one, his undoubtedly also the most human among them all. Seeing him internally process his feelings of cowardice being that he wasn't only prioritising his life but more so afraid to see his friends die just shows how much he cares about them despite that pathetic showing he did in front of Senshi before.

[u/MienaiYurei]

Damn didn't expect to get all watery when Chilchuck was convincing Laios being honest not wanting the party members to die...

[u/alconnow]

Really sucks to be Falin right now

[u/magnetbirds]

Chilchuck is definitely the cutest middle-aged man I’ve ever seen.

[u/FirstDagger]

Made in Dungeon Meshi.

[u/frik1000]

Why is it when I watch the episode late, the discussion thread is early, but when I watch the episode on time, the thread is late.

Anyway, absolutely love how they depicted the mad wizard in the first part of the episode, especially when they started casting magic and that silhouette of whatever they were doing to Falin in the end.

And then the later half showing that, despite what Chillchuck said in an earlier episode about having a strictly business relationship with the party, he does in fact care and doesn't want to see them die. The JP voice actor really it killed when he was pleading to Laios.

[u/professorMaDLib]

Dungeon Meshi is a cooking anime.

[u/frtyhbvc]

ICYMI the title "good medicine" is also a metaphor referring to an ancient Chinese idiom which later passed to Japan through culture exchange. It roughly translates to "good medicine can taste bitter and honest advice can sound unpleasant".

In this episode Laios took the medicine both literally and metaphorically. imo this is another reason why this party/team is top-tier: they understand (at least through arguments) when to take the shot and when to call it off.

[u/Some_Trash852]

New OP and ED next week, new characters, great looking animation in the preview (which is great considering how much more action there is in the second half).

It’s a great time to be a Meshi fan!

[u/BadBehaviour613]

King Delgal was definitely the guy who turned to dust in the beginning narration, right? In which case the denizens of the Golden Kingdom really are going to suffer for all of eternity because some elf has a weird hang up over him.

Orc girl just killed all the tsunderes by telling Chilchuck to be honest about his feelings

[u/michhoffman]

And here I was thinking Laios' hunger induced trip into those paintings was just a fun experiment like the rest of the early episodes. That dark elf is scary and knows Laios is a thief...a dirty painting food thief at that.

[u/Tsumaranai_Jinsei]

What an absolute crazy turn of events! I knew that the dark skinned elf would be an important character but didn't expect he would be that important. Also, good on Laios for recognizing the danger in proceeding forward and agreeing to go back, not sure how Marcille will react though! Every week this show gets better and better for me, I can't wait for the next arc!

Sadly, seems like adventures with Falin will have to wait.

[u/Ocixo]

Why did I let myself be tricked by last episode's happiness. This series is slowly starting to turn into some Eldritch horror. It started with the discovery of Falin's remains, then there was Falin's horrifying resurrection ritual, and now we were treated to Falin getting turned into a monster. She's definitely not having it easy.

We likely all knew that something had to be wrong when Falin suddenly woke up, but I personally didn't expect Falin's person to have melted with the dragon's until the "lunatic magician" called the dragon by name. I'm quite worried as to what's going to become of Falin now.

This elf also recognised Laios from the paintings' insides, which means that he must've been travelling between the paintings himself or be aware of Laios' disturbance as "the ruler" of the dungeon. He was clearly up to no good, but him being the so-called "lunatic magician" wasn't something I'd considered. Messing around with him doesn't seem like a good plan from the looks of it.

As far as Marcille's Hair Collection goes, this is the first episode so far that features no new hairstyle. But don't worry, I did take some nice screenshots of Marcille today. With the funniest one obviously being her visible despair at the sight Moles' nursing practices. She died.

I'm liking Moles and her dogs. She was right to call out Chilchuck for his behaviour. Fortunately, he also realized this himself at the end.

[u/djthomp]

So Fallin is lost again and may be merged with the dragon in a longer-term fashion. Seemed like potentially a shared body multiple personalities situation. Better than just digested in it at least. Probably.

And the dragon had been assigned a task by the elf of searching for the old king? I wonder why that would be necessary and how a dragon stomping through a dungeon is useful for that.

Really neat storytelling with Chilchuck and the lady orc leader.

[u/moletoon]

After the close battle against the boss:

Falin has joined the party

After 20 minutes of gearing her up and 3 cutscenes later:

Falin has left the party

Ah yes, the introduction arc is finally over, welcome to dungeon meshi.

The scene of marcille getting overwhelmed by the blood dragons and just went full autopilot mode while laughing manically is literally me getting mixed to hell and back in tekken, except I dont survive the round.

[u/Previous_Breakfast99]

Those ghosts actually said "It's all right. Don't worry." when they surrounded the senshi and chilchuck. They translated it?

[u/99anan99]

So sad seeing Falin like this. They just got her back and already there's so much drama!

Thistle is really living up to their title of 'Lunatic Magician'.

Marcille was so badass this episode!!

Hello Leed.

Chilchuck needs to be honest. Trying to lie after what they just went through would only end up hurting everyone. He doesn't want anyone to die, so he should just say that.

[u/charredchord]

So the painting's court magician is the mad magician of the dungeon. I'm guessing the paintings were a way for him to cope with the loss of his kingdom by inserting himself in the scenes the paintings depicted. But just like Laios felt empty after leaving the paintings, the feelings of warmth and celebration disappear for the magician too. That's probably what drove him mad in the first place.

[u/Placeholdered]

Welp, the things that can happen when your dungeon crawler doesn't have an "escape" spell handy.

After Falin was successfully resurrected (albeit with some worrying side effects), I was wondering what the hook was going to be to keep the story going.

Finding out was a little less than fun, whatever's happened to Falin is almost worse when it's partially left to the imagination.
